I believe you're referring to our January 2020 Kafka incident where a logic bug caused data loss for a customer. It was a serious failure and a huge learning moment for us.

The platform we operate today is fundamentally different and far more resilient than it was five years ago. We've scaled significantly (recently passing $100M ARR) because we took those early lessons seriously and continue to prioritize reliability.


Noticed this as we at Aiven https://aiven.io also love crabs


My blog post from this March describes how we (founding team of 4 programmers) got started with Aiven:
